Delivering higher standards of workplace health and safety in Scotland
At present some 40 people die and 14,000 are seriously injured annually in work accidents in Scotland, over 200,000 suffer ill-health conditions caused or made worse by work and 2.6 million work days are lost. The human cost cannot be quantified. The annual cost to the Scottish economy is in the range £80-140 million.
Since September 2004, RoSPA have been involved in the shaping of a Higher Performers' Forum in Scotland. This forum brings together organisations both public and private sector who have demonstrated a commitment to advancing occupational health and safety standards both within and out with traditional boundaries. The forum aims to encourage more expansive thinking within the health and safety community, members believing that organisations who themselves have achieved higher standards of performance in health and safety have a duty to motivate and assist other organisations to do likewise.
